Just stumbled upon a fascinating piece of tech history: Did you know the first computer virus, called "Creeper," was created in 1971? It was a self-replicating program that displayed the message, "I'm the creeper, catch me if you can!" on infected systems. It wasn't malicious, but rather an experiment by Bob Thomas at BBN Technologies to test self-replicating programs. Fast forward to today, and we have sophisticated cybersecurity structures to counteract the myriad of threats out there. It's intriguing to see how far we've come in understanding and counteracting digital threats. Keep your antivirus software updated, folks!
